You have the ability to help determine the value of an Oscar Mayer coupon that could be worth as much as a free product.

Here’s how it works. The Oscar Mayer promotion wants you to submit a “taste-a-monial” about how much you love its Carving Board Pulled Pork. The more taste-a-monials submitted, the higher the value of the coupon. “If enough people join in and spread the word, the coupon’s value might grow to a free pack of Oscar Mayer Carving Board Pulled Pork,” according to the promo site.

The offer will run through Feb. 17 or until the free pack level is reached. Coupons will be mailed after the promo ends.

Even if you don’t want to submit a taste-a-monial, you can still print a $1 coupon now.
